Wetland Knowledge Resources

Webinar summary of six presentations from the North American Forest Ecology Workshop (2017) on the topic of wetland conservation and riparian management.

This presentation provides an overview of a long-term university-industry research partnership to improve understanding of peatland ecosystem function and reclamation techniques.

The presentation provides examples of effective science communication, key implications for knowledge exchange in wetland conservation, and opportunities to help separate distractions from impact.

Moderate to rich fens covered with tamarack and black spruce cover large areas of Alberta. These peatlands are nearly pH neutral and are characterized by hummock-hollow topography where the hummocks...

This presentation covers effects of peatland fire on permafrost stability, consequences of permafrost thaw on greenhouse gas exchange, and opportunities to learn from natural disturbances.

Oil sands mining in Alberta has disturbed large areas of peatlands, the dominant regional ecosystem type, and no formal strategies exist to reconstruct the landscape. Peatland reclamation is...

This presentation introduces the NAIT Boreal Research Institute and provides examples of peatland applied research activities, and the use of knowledge exchange products to disseminate findings.

This presentation highlights the importance of northern Alberta’s “mountains” and wetlands on sustaining water flows in local streams and regional rivers in the Athabasca River Basin.

This ongoing project characterized changes and early responses in biodiversity and environmental conditions along seismic lines in relation to the adjacent forest.

This presentation highlights the ecosystem services wetlands provide in the boreal forest and what this means for forest management and land users.
